Crystal Palace winger Asher Agbinone has disclosed that he is qualified to play for the Nigerian national team.
After rising through the ranks, Agbinone made his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest in October 2024 after joining Crystal Palace at the U9 level.
The 19-year-old is eligible to play for the Republic of the Congo’s Red Devils through his mother and the Super Eagles through his Nigerian father.
However, the talented forward is up for grabs because none of the three nations for which he is qualified have given him an international cap.
Agbinone has stated that he is eligible to play for three different countries, including the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
London is a very diverse place. My mom’s from Congo, my dad is from Nigeria.
“Whenever someone asks me where I am from, I’ll tell them where I am from probably. I can never forget where I am from, it shaped who I am today.”
He explained that he grew up in South London, a place with many different cultures. His mom is from Congo and his dad is from Nigeria.
